Abstract

" Objective - This paper systematically analyzes publications in the field of private-sector corruption. Methodology/Technique - We used bibliometric indicators and the VOSviewer software to identify metrics like annual publication trends, top productive countries, top subject area for this field, collaboration network, and co-citation analysis trend. Through a structured keyword search from the Scopus database from 1988 to 2024, 392 documents were identified. Findings - Results show that the number of publications was insignificant for the first 15 years of study and only rose significantly from 2003 onwards. The findings also show that publications in this field are produced in 70 countries, with the majority published in Western countries. Novelty - This article extensively reviews the current state of private sector corruption literature. It is beneficial to assist emerging researchers in recognizing and comprehending the most recent developments in this field by examining various countries, authors, and fields of study. Type of Paper - Empirical"
